WiFi não funciona no laptop Acer Aspire E15 (E5-576G-55Y4)

Question

Acabei de instalar o Ubuntu 14.04.5 (Desktop LTS, x86) no meu laptop Acer Aspire E15 E5-576G-55Y4 e o wifi não está funcionando ou aparece no Network Manager, mas a Ethernet funciona bem. Como corrigir esse problema?

Não consigo atualizar o distr para o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ou 16.04 devido à compatibilidade do sistema operacional com vários programas

    

Answer 1

Você precisará de backports para usar esse cartão no Ubuntu 14.04

sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.14-rc2/backports-4.14-rc2-1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf backports-4.14-rc2-1.tar.gz
cd backports-4.14-rc2-1
make defconfig-wifi
make
sudo make install
cd /lib/firmware
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-3168-22.ucode

Reinicie Após as atualizações do kernel, você precisará

cd backports-4.14-rc2-1
make clean
make defconfig-wifi
make
sudo make install

Reinicie
